3 Page 2 Introduction to DNA Methylation: Cytosine methylation is a naturally occurring base modification, in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, consisting of the addition of a methyl group to the fifth carbon position of the cytosine pyrimidine ring via a methyltransferase enzyme (1). In prokaryotes DNA methylation provides a way to protect host DNA from digestion by restriction endonucleases that are designed to eliminate foreign DNA. DNA methylation in higher eukaryotes functions in the regulation/control of gene expression (2). The majority of DNA methylation in mammals occurs in 5 -CpG-3 dinucleotides, although other patterns do exist. About 80 percent of all 5 -CpG-3 dinucleotides in mammalian genomes are found to be methylated, and the majority of the twenty percent that remain unmethylated are within promoters or in the first exons of genes. It has been demonstrated that aberrant DNA methylation is a widespread phenomenon in cancer and may be among the earliest changes to occur during oncogenesis (3). DNA methylation has also been shown to play a central role in gene imprinting, embryonic development, X-chromosome gene silencing, and cell cycle regulation. The ability to detect and quantify DNA methylation efficiently and accurately has become essential for the study of cancer, gene expression, genetic diseases, and many other important aspects of biology. To date, a number of methods have been developed to detect/quantify DNA methylation including: high-performance capillary electrophoresis (4) and methylation-sensitive arbitrarily primed PCR (5). However, the most common techniques used today still rely on bisulfite conversion (6). Treating DNA with bisulfite chemically modifies non-methylated cytosines into uracil, methylated cytosines remain unchanged. Once converted, the methylation profile of the DNA can be determined using the desired downstream application. For single locus analysis, the region of interest is generally amplified following bisulfite conversion (i.e., bisulfite PCR) and then sequenced or processed for Pyrosequencing. Recent advances in methylation detection also allow the investigation of genome-wide methylation using technologies including array-based methods, reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS), and whole genome bisulfite sequencing (7).

Electrophoresis. 2000; 21(14): DNA sequencing results following bisulfite treatment. DNA with methylated C at nucleotide position #5 was processed using the EZ DNA Methylation Kit. The recovered DNA was amplified by PCR and then sequenced directly. The methylated cytosine at position #5 remains intact while the unmethylated cytosines at positions #7, 9, 11, 14 and 15 are completely converted into uracil following bisulfite treatment (detected as thymine following PCR). 5.

The EZ-96 DNA Methylation-Direct MagPrep features simple and reliable DNA bisulfite conversion directly from blood, tissue, and cells without the prerequisite for DNA purification. The increased sensitivity of this kit makes it possible to amplify bisulfite converted DNA from as few as 10 cells or 50 pg DNA. These innovations have been coupled to a magnetic bead based clean-up for high-throughput methylation analysis. Desulphonation and clean-up of the converted DNA is performed while bound to the MagBinding Beads. The kits have been designed to minimize template degradation, loss of DNA during treatment and clean-up, and to provide complete conversion of unmethylated cytosines. Recovered DNA is ideal for PCR, array, bisulfite and next generation sequencing, etc. 60 ng/µl Vol. (µl) Yield (ng x 10) Select Citations: 1. Ehrich M, et al. Nuc. Acids Res. 2007; 35 (5): e29 2.

For optimal results, the cell number should be from 1 x x 10 4 cells. Purified DNA: Samples containing 50 pg - 2 µg of DNA. For optimal results, the amount of input DNA should be from 200 to 500 ng. Conversion Efficiency: > 99.5% of non-methylated C residues are converted to U; > 99.5% protection of methylated cytosines. Required Additional Equipment: Magnetic Stand, Heating element for 96-well plate. Note: A strong-field magnetic stand is recommended (e.g., ZR-96 MagStand, Cat. No. P1005) Reagent Preparation: Preparation of Proteinase K Add 1040 µl of Proteinase K Storage Buffer to the tube containing Proteinase K. Dissolve completely then store at -20 C. Preparation of CT Conversion Reagent The CT Conversion Reagent supplied with this kit is a solid mixture and must be prepared prior to use. Prepare as follows: 1. Add 7.9 ml of M-Solubilization Buffer and 3 ml of M-Dilution Buffer to a bottle of CT Conversion Reagent. 2. Mix at room temperature with frequent vortexing or shaking for 15 minutes. 3. Add 1.6 ml of M-Reaction Buffer and mix an additional 4 minutes. Note: It is normal to see trace amounts of undissolved reagent in the CT Conversion Reagent. Each bottle of CT Conversion Reagent is designed for 96 separate DNA treatments. Storage: The CT Conversion Reagent is light sensitive, so minimize its exposure to light. For best results, the CT Conversion Reagent should be used immediately following its preparation. If not used immediately, the CT Conversion Reagent solution can be stored overnight at room temperature, one week at 4 C, or up to one month at -20 C. Stored CT Conversion Reagent solution must be warmed to 37 C then vortexed prior to use. Preparation of M-Wash Buffer Add 288 ml of 100% ethanol to the 72 ml M-Wash Buffer concentrate before use.

6 Page 5 Protocol: Either blood, tissue, cells, or purified DNA can be used as the starting material for the EZ DNA Methylation-Direct Kit. If purified DNA is used, then proceed directly to Section II (page 6). If blood, tissue, or cells are used, see Appendix I (page 7) for sample-specific recommendations (e.g., FFPE and LCM samples). For optimal results, the cell number should be between 1 x x 10 4 per treatment, although the cell number can range from cells. Using more cells than the recommended limit may result in incomplete bisulfite conversion of the DNA. Section I: Sample Digestion with Proteinase K. Digestions should be performed in a Conversion Plate (provided) using procedure A or B (below) based on the number of cells and/or tissue type. Digestions are scalable to facilitate multiple samples or to increase the ease of manipulation. Sufficient volumes of reagents are included with this kit to increase the overall Proteinase K digestion volume 5-fold. 1. A. Setup the following digestion for samples containing up to 2 x 10 3 cells. 10 µl M-Digestion Buffer (2X) Up to 9 µl Sample ( 2 x 10 3 cells) 1 µl Proteinase K X µl H 2 O 20 µl Total Volume Important! Difficult to digest samples result in the formation of visible debris following digestion. These should be processed according to procedure B. B. Setup the following digestion for samples containing up to 1 x 10 5 cells. This should also include all difficult to digest samples that form debris or precipitate following Proteinase K digestion see Appendix I. 13 µl M-Digestion Buffer (2X) Up to 12 µl Sample ( 10 5 cells) 1 µl Proteinase K X µl H 2 O 26 µl Total Volume 2. Seal the Conversion Plate with Cover Film and incubate the samples for 20 minutes at 50 C. Note: For FFPE, LCM and other fixed tissue samples, adjust the incubation time to 4 hours (see Appendix I). 3. If following procedure A, proceed directly to Section II. If following procedure B, mix the contents the Conversion Plate thoroughly, then mount on a Collection Plate and centrifuge for 10 minutes at 1,000 x g. Pierce or remove film, then transfer 20 µl of the supernatant to a new Conversion Plate and proceed to Section II.

7 Page 6 Protocol (continued): Section II. Bisulfite Conversion and Cleanup of DNA 1. Add 130 µl of CT Conversion Reagent to 20 µl of a DNA sample in a Conversion Plate. Mix the samples by pipetting up and down. Note: If the volume of DNA is less than 20 µl, compensate with water. 2. Seal the plate with the provided film. Transfer the Conversion Plate to a thermal cycler and perform the following steps: If procedure A is used (p. 5), the CT-Conversion Reagent can be added directly to the samples in the Conversion Plate by either piercing the Cover Film or carefully removing it. Use a new Cover Film to re-seal the plate. Note: The 4 C storage step is optional C for 8 minutes C for 3.5 hours 3. 4 C storage for up to 20 hours 3. Pre-heat a plate heating element to 55 C. Note: Alternatively, depending on the time necessary for the element to reach temperature, this can be performed any time prior to step Add 600 µl of M-Binding Buffer and 10 µl of MagBinding Beads to each well of a Collection Plate. Note: MagBinding Beads settle very quickly, ensure that beads are kept suspended in the reservoir while adding to the plate. 5. Transfer the samples from the Conversion Plate into the Collection Plate containing the M-Binding Buffer and MagBinding Beads. Mix by pipetting up and down 3-6 times and, if available, vortexing at 1,300-1,500 rpm for 30 seconds (e.g. Tecan - Te-Shake ). Note: Transfer may be accomplished by either piercing or removing the cover foil on the Conversion Plate. If using a Collection Plate as a stand for the Conversion Plate it may be necessary to secure the plates together using the tabs on the cover foil to prevent lifting of the Conversion Plate. 6. Let plate stand at room temperature for 5 minutes, then transfer plate to a magnetic stand for an additional 5 minutes or until beads pellet and supernatant is cleared. With the plate on the magnetic stand remove the supernatant and discard. Note: Some beads will adhere to the sides of the well. Remove supernatant slowly to allow these beads to be pulled to the magnet as the liquid level is lowered. 7. Remove the Collection Plate from the magnetic stand for this and each subsequent buffer addition. Add 400 µl of M-Wash Buffer to the beads. Re-suspend the beads by pipetting up and down or vortexing the plate at 1,300-1,500 rpm for 30 seconds. Replace the plate on the magnetic stand for 3 minutes or until beads pellet. Remove and discard supernatant.

8 Page 7 Protocol (continued): 8. Add 200 µl of M-Desulphonation Buffer to the beads. Re-suspend the beads by pipetting up and down or vortexing for 30 seconds. Let plate stand at room temperature (20-30 C) for minutes. After the incubation, replace the plate on the magnetic stand for 3 minutes or until beads pellet. Remove and discard supernatant. Note: Take time for handling/re-suspension into account for the total incubation time. Adjust time as necessary to ensure that no sample remains in the M-Desulphonation Buffer for more than minutes. 9. Add 400 µl of M-Wash Buffer to the beads. Re-suspend the beads by pipetting up and down or vortexing for 30 seconds. Replace the plate on the magnetic stand for 3 minutes or until beads pellet. Remove and discard supernatant. Repeat this wash step. Note: Remove as much buffer as possible after final wash to aid in the drying of the beads. 10. Transfer the plate to a heating element at 55 C for minutes to dry the beads and remove residual M-Wash Buffer. Alternatively, water or TE (ph 6.0) can be used for elution if required for your experiments. Note: Beads will change in appearance from glossy black when still wet to a dull brown when fully dry. 11. Add 25 µl of M-Elution Buffer directly to the dried beads and pipette or vortex for 30 seconds to re-suspend. Heat the elution at 55 C for 4 minutes then transfer the plate to the magnetic stand for 1 minute or until beads pellet. Remove the supernatant and transfer to a clean Elution Plate. Note: If beads are removed with the elution, slowly pippetting up and down one or two times will allow them to be pulled to the magnet. The DNA is ready for immediate analysis or can be stored at or below -20 C for later use. For long term storage, store at or below -70 C. We recommend using 1-4 µl of eluted DNA for each PCR, however, up to 25 µl can be used if necessary. The elution volume can be > 25 µl depending on the requirements of your experiments, but small elution volumes will yield higher DNA concentrations.

Include Automation Scripts in the subject line and provide kit catalog number and the automation platform desired in the .

9 Page 8 Appendix I: Recommendations for Specific Cells and Tissues The following guidelines are provided as recommendations when sampling specific cell and tissue sources. Most importantly, the optimal amount of DNA used for bisulfite treatment (Section II) should be from 1 x x 10 4 cells, although DNA from as few as 10 to as many as 10 5 cells may be used. Caution: using more cells than the recommended maximum may result in incomplete bisulfite conversion of the DNA. Important! Difficult to digest samples result in the formation of visible debris following digestion and should be processed according to digestion procedure B on page 5. This can occur with samples that are large or resistant to Proteinase K digestion, including: connective tissue (e.g., cartilage), adipose tissue, some fixed tissue, etc. If debris is not removed by centrifugation, it may interfere with the bisulfite conversion process resulting in incomplete conversion of the DNA. Whole Blood: Use up to 0.5 µl whole blood per Proteinase K digestion (procedure A or B, page 5) However, the volume of the Proteinase K digestion can be adjusted when processing replicate samples or for convenient sample manipulation. For example, to increase the sample volume 5-fold for digestion procedure A: add 2.5 µl of blood to 50 µl M-Digestion Buffer, 42.5 µl H 2 0, and 5 µl of Proteinase K. Solid Tissue (Fresh or Frozen): Use up to 0.1 mg or 0.1 µl tissue per Proteinase K digestion (procedure A or B). However, the volume of the Proteinase K digestion can be adjusted when processing replicate samples or for convenient sample manipulation. For example, to increase the sample volume 5-fold for digestion procedure B: add 0.5 mg or 0.5 µl of tissue to 65 µl M-Digestion Buffer, 59.5 µl H 2 0, and 5 µl of Proteinase K. Cultured Cells and Other Cell-Containing Liquids: Both monolayer and cells in suspension may be processed either directly from the culture container or after harvesting. Small amounts of culture medium do not adversely affect the procedure but should be kept to a minimum. Ideally, cells should be suspended in PBS or Trisbuffered solutions prior to Proteinase K digestion. Other cell-containing liquids (e.g., those derived from FACS or buffy coat) may also be used directly as sample sources. If the composition of the liquid is not defined, then pellet the cells by centrifugation and remove the supernatant. Cells should be resuspended in PBS or Tris-buffered solutions. Generally, cells in body fluids can be used directly for Proteinase K digestion. FFPE (Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded) and Other Fixed Tissues: Paraffinembedded tissues must be deparaffinized prior to use. This can be accomplished according to conventional xylene-ethanol protocols. The Proteinase K digestion must be extended from 20 minutes to 4 hours for FFPE and any other fixed tissue samples. LCM (Laser Capture Micro-Dissection): Tissue samples from LCM should be in PBS or Tris-buffered solutions. The Proteinase K digestion must be extended from 20 minutes to 4 hours for LCM and any other fixed tissue samples.

10 Page 9 Appendix II: Optimizing Bisulfite Conversion and PCR Note: Methylated C is underlined in the examples. 1. Bisulfite Conversion of Double Stranded DNA Templates. The following illustrates what occurs to a DNA template during bisulfite conversion. Template: A: 5 -GACCGTTCCAGGTCCAGCAGTGCGCT-3 B: 3 -CTGGCAAGGTCCAGGTCGTCACGCGA-5 Note: Following bisulfite conversion, the strands are no longer complementary. Bisulfite Converted: A: 5 -GATCGTTTTAGGTTTAGTAGTGCGTT-3 B: 3 -TTGGCAAGGTTTAGGTTGTTATGCGA-5 Note: Only one strand (A) is amplified by a given primer set. Only the reverse primer binds to the converted DNA, the forward primer will bind the strand generated by the reverse primer. If the primer contains CpG dinucleotides with uncertain methylation status, then mixed bases with C and T (or G and A) can be used. Usually, there should be no more than one mixed position per primer and it should be located toward the 5 end of the primer. It is not recommended to have mixed bases located at the 3 end of the primer. ZymoTaq is a hot start DNA polymerase specifically designed for the amplification of bisulfite treated DNA. (see page 12 for details) 2. PCR Primer Design. Generally, primers 26 to 32 bases are required for amplification of bisulfite converted DNA. In general, all Cs should be treated as Ts for primer design purposes, unless they are in a CpG context. See example below. Bisulfite Converted: A: 5 -GATCGTTTTAGGTTTAGTAGTGCGTT-3 Primers: Reverse: 3 -ATCATCACRCAA-5 R= G/A Forward: 5 -GATYGTTTTAGGT-3 Y= C/T Zymo Research provides primer design assistance with its Bisulfite Primer Seeker Program, available at: 3. Amount of DNA Required for Bisulfite Conversion. The minimal amount of human or mouse genomic DNA required for bisulfite treatment and subsequent PCR amplification is 100 pg. The optimal amount of DNA per bisulfite treatment is 200 to 500 ng. Although, up to 2 μg of DNA can be processed, it should be noted that high input levels of DNA may result in incomplete bisulfite conversion for some GC-rich regions. 4. PCR Conditions. Usually, 35 to 40 cycles are required for successful PCR amplification of bisulfite converted DNA. Optimal amplicon size should be between bp; however larger amplicons (up to 1 kb) can be generated by optimizing the PCR conditions. Annealing temperatures between C typically work well. As most non-methylated cytosine residues are converted into uracil, the bisulfitetreated DNA usually is AT-rich and has low GC composition. Non-specific PCR amplification is relatively common with bisulfite treated DNA due to its AT-rich nature. PCR using hot start polymerases is strongly recommended for the amplification of bisulfite-treated DNA. 5. Quantifying Bisulfite Treated DNA. Following bisulfite treatment of genomic DNA, the original base-pairing no longer exists since non-methylated cytosine residues are converted into uracil. Recovered DNA is typically A, U, and T-rich and is single stranded with limited non-specific base-pairing at room temperature. The absorption coefficient at 260 nm resembles that of RNA. Use a value of 40 µg/ml for Ab 260 = 1.0 when determining the concentration of the recovered bisulfite-treated DNA.

11 Page 10 Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Should the input DNA be dissolved in TE, water, or some other buffer prior to its conversion? A: Water, TE or modified TE buffers can be used to dissolve the DNA and do not interfere with the conversion process. Q: Which Taq polymerase(s) do you recommend for PCR amplification of converted DNA? A: We recommend a hot start DNA polymerase (e.g., ZymoTaq, page 12). Q: Why are there two different catalog numbers for the EZ-96 DNA Methylation- Direct Kit? A: The two different catalog numbers are used to differentiate between the binding plates that are included in the kit. Deep and shallow-well binding plates are available to accommodate most rotors and microplate carriers. Below is a comparison of the two binding plates.
